Men’s Counselling and Psychotherapy in Surry Hills: Tailored Support for Personal Growth and Well-Being
Welcome to my private, face-to-face men’s counselling practice in Surry Hills, the vibrant heart of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. I also provide TeleHealth services for those who prefer the convenience and flexibility of online sessions. I’m Christian Acuña, dedicated to addressing the unique mental

health needs of men. My practice offers a specialised approach focused on fostering personal growth, resilience, and meaningful, safe connections, empowering you to live an authentic and fulfilling life. Drawing from a range of therapeutic techniques—including existential psychotherapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Gestalt therapy, and mindfulness-based practices—I offer personalised sessions that address the distinct challenges and aspirations of men. Together, we can explore your life experiences in a respectful, judgment-free environment, focusing on your goals and desires. This includes cultivating healthier relationships, both romantic and platonic, and understanding what is truly healthy for you compared to what may not serve your well-being. Our sessions guide you away from limiting beliefs and outdated relationship patterns, such as the emotional cycles of limerence or early childhood relational trauma, helping you achieve emotional freedom and fulfilment. Through mindfulness and deep self-exploration, you will learn to be fully present and live with authenticity and self-assurance, without fear, shame, or anxiety. We will work on processing childhood traumas and shedding obsolete false beliefs that have repeatedly drawn you toward unhealthy relationships.

💡 Why Are People Drawn to Corrupt and Authoritarian Figures?

Why do individuals remain loyal to leaders who lie, manipulate, and exploit? From history to modern politics, the attraction to the repugnant is a psychological phenomenon rooted in deep emotional needs, cognitive biases, and social conditioning.

In this blog, I explore how figures like Trump and other authoritarian leaders cultivate intense devotion, even in the face of overwhelming evidence of corruption. Understanding these dynamics is key to breaking free from their influence.

Attachment styles play a powerful role in shaping men’s relationships, emotional well-being, and even anxiety. 🧠

Do you:
➡️ Pull away when relationships feel too close?
➡️ Worry about being abandoned or not feeling good enough?
➡️ Experience a cycle of conflict, fear, or emotional disconnection?

These patterns often originate in early experiences but can affect your adult relationships. The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck.

💡 Counselling can help you:
✔️ Identify your attachment style (Anxious, Avoidant, or Disorganized).
✔️ Break free from unhealthy patterns.
✔️ Build secure, fulfilling connections.

Take the first step to understanding yourself and improving your relationships. 🌟

🌟 Is Timing Everything in Relationships? 🌟

Who hasn’t met someone who felt just right, only to realize that emotional timing wasn’t on their side? Maybe you or the other person were still tangled in past heartbreak, making things complicated. So, do we wait for the right moment, or act and risk pushing them away?

Psychological research says emotional readiness is key. Even the strongest connection can fall apart if either person isn't healed and ready. Sometimes, patience and personal growth pave the way for meaningful connections when the time is truly right.

🌟 Recovering from a Breakup: Proven Ways to Heal 🌟

Going through a breakup can feel like navigating through a stormy sea, with waves of emotions crashing over you. But what if your healing process could be stronger, quicker, and more complete? Science may have uncovered some powerful insights.

New research reveals that reflecting on past relationships over a nine-week period can significantly enhance recovery from a breakup. This process of self-reflection, known as 'self-concept reorganisation,' involves rebuilding and strengthening your sense of self, independent of the relationship.

As someone who has experienced heartbreak multiple times, I understand the pain and turmoil it can bring. But I've also learned that healing is possible. It's about reclaiming your identity and finding strength in your own worth, regardless of your relationship status.

As a seasoned psychotherapist specialising in men's mental health, I'm here to support you through the journey of healing and growth. If you're struggling to cope with the loss and grief of a breakup, know that you don't have to face it alone. Reach out to me directly at Counselling and Psychotherapy Services for Men here in Sydney, and let's navigate this path to healing together.
